The Silver City Museum chose items from its collections to put in a small exhibit in the parlor. The opening reception took place on Jan. 22, 2020, with people becoming intrigued by some of the items not identified, except with the words "What are they?"
An informational sheet is available that explains some of the more interesting items that were not easily identifiable as to usage.
